These are 24.5/8/13 MT ET Drag slicks mounted on 13x7 panasport wheel, I just want you guy opinion on the clearance of the slicks since this is my first set of slicks( i bought these used).

Seller advertise them as one pass down the track, the slicks are air up to about 20 psi so i dont think they will grow any bigger? Im worried they will rub the fender when i brake after the 1/4 mile.

i did get on the car and bounce up and down to duplicate too see if it would hit the fender. I rolled the fender until the fender is not touching the tire when im bouncing it up and down with me in the engine bay lol, what do you guy think? will i have problem.

suspension is Koni yellow with neuspeed race spring so ot the stiffer thing out there







Edit: Do slicks have date stamp on them when they are made? i thought i read somewhere they do but i cant find it

 

we have ran 25x8x13 on a civic and havent had any issues, you should be fine!

 

Only problem im afraid i may have is when i brake the fender may come down and touch the tire

 

DETERMINING THE AGE OF A TIRE
The manufacturing date of a tire is incorporated into an 11 digit code, called a TIN (Tire Identification Number) located down by the bead of the tire. The only exception would be most Pro Drag Radials, which do not incorporate traditional TIN's. On street legal tires, the TIN is preceded by the letters "DOT".
The last four numbers of the TIN represent the week and year of manufacture. In the Example below, this tire was produced the 35th week of 2008.

EXAMPLE: CY1JM5FJ3508 (3508 = date code)

NVM on manu date

 

if you really want i can get you pics of 25's and 24.5s on civics!

 

If your front suspension is soft and you get on the brakes hard you might rub, but since you rolled the edges I doubt it will cut into the tire

go take it down the street hit like 30-40 and do a semi hard stop if you can, that will probably give you a better indication if its going to rub than jumping on your front end.

 

Im gonna try to roll the fender a little more, i think ill be okay

 

clearence looks fine... I ve seens eg civic run with a lower clearence with no issues.

 

I ran on my integra 24.5/9/13 with stock struts and ebay coilovers back in the day lol...I never had any problems when braking, I would just do it nice and easy and not slam on them

 

Well before you go getting all crazy changing stuff....Why dont you take the air down to about 8-10psi since thats most likely what you'll be running them at while racing. Dont check everything while their at 20psi.

 

correct, however the tire will expand alot when on the big end of the track, making this method more accurate......
